tics are already speaking out. >> when it comes to national defense and national security you need a top rated person. i don't think chuck hagel fits that bill. >> in colorado a week-long preliminary hearing is under way for james holmes the lone gunman in a movie theater last july. >> if i could say something i'd ask him to kill himself because he's a coward. >> a chicago man won $1 million playing the lottery but he died before he got the money. police believe he was throwed. touchdown, touchdown. >> where did the fixes need to come in the second half? >> maybe alabama doesn't come back in the second half. >> touchdown alabama. touchdown bama sabin with his third championship in alabama. you would not let them use the "r" word repeat. >> they repeated it so they can talk about it already. this is a monster calamari. >> a squid in its natural

habitat. what was supposed to be a lovely sunset wedding in a hot air balloon ended this way. >> you see that lovely lady that's a.y. mccarron's girlfriend. >> what a beautiful woman. >> whoa! >> a.j.'s doing it right. >> 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms. come to america, you can become an american and join the republic. >> are you finished? >> on "cbs this morning." >> some people are seriously floating the idea of a trillion-dollar coin as a solution to the country's next fiscal crisis. >> we should have known a coin was obama's solution to everything. it was right there in his slogan "change." captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." there is at least one more issue for congress to fight about in the new year president obama announced yesterday he is nominating former republican

senator chuck hagel to lead the defense department. >> at the cia the president wants his chief counterterrorism adviser john brennan to be in charge. both must be confirmed by the senate where the former senator faces intense criticism. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning and good morning in the west. the president praised hagel as a vietnam vet who bears the scars of his war wounds the first enlisted soldier to head the department of defense, it was a clear effort to convince skeptical republicans and democrats in the senate that hagel is the right man for the job. >> he understands that sending young americans to fight and bleed in the dirt and mud, that's something we only do when it's absolutely necessary. >> reporter: praising hagel's independence, mr. obama seems to challenge his opponents in the senate. >> in the senate i came to admire his courage and his judgment, his willingness to speak his mind even if it wasn't popular. >> mr. president, i'm grateful

for this opportunity to serve our country again, and especially its men and women in uniform and their families. >> reporter: pushback was swift from members of hagel's own party. senator john mccain warned "i have serious concerns about positions senator hagel has taken on a range of critical national security issues." top senate republican leader john cornyn went further "i will not support chuck hagel's nomination" much of the criticism on his opinion on iran in favor of talks. dan coats. >> when it comes to national security you need a top rated person, i don't think chuck hagel fits that bill. >> reporter: coats tells cbs news he has not decided if he'll support hagel. democrats also have tough questions about what critics call anti-gay comments that hagel made more than a decade ago. hagel has since apologized. >> to see if his apology is

sincere, and sufficient i want to hear how he's evolved on this issue in the last 14 years. >> reporter: hagel came to his own defense monday saying in an interview that critics have completely distorted his record adding "all i ask is a fair hearing, a full open transparent hearing about my qualifications and record." hagel also faces criticism he's not sufficient and has had criticism to israel. there's also some pushback to the nomination of john brennan to lead the cia. some senators have questions about his involvement in harsh interrogation techniques when he served at the cia during the george w. bush administration. norah charlie? >> bill plante, thanks. former georgia senator max cleland went on to serve from

vietnam to capitol hill with chuck hagel. good morning. >> good morning. >> you say the charge is baseless, the opposition is baseless. where do you think it comes from? >> i don't know where it comes from. i think anybody that gets nominated for such a top position here as secretary of defense is going to be fully scrutinized and that's the role of the senate so the next step in this process is the senate hearing but there's no doubt in my mind that the senate will ultimately confirm chuck hagel for the secretary of defense slot because nobody is going to really seriously consider vetoing this choice of the president in the middle of a war. >> do you think we will have modify 1/2 the positions he's expressed in order to suggest that is he in fact exactly where the president is for example, on iran? >> no. no, i don't think chuck hagel has to modify anything. i think he has to clarify before the senate and before the public exactly where he stands and what his record is, because his

record has been distorted. lot of that has been shadow boxing by his critics, they're swatting at nothing, and when you see chuck hagel before the united states senate armed services committee where i sat for six years, you'll see that chuck haguele is exactly the kind of person we need. he's been shot at and hit and got holes in his t-shirt on the battlefield, that will bring him great credibility in the department of defense because that's exactly what happens to our young men and women abroad especially those in afghanistan. >> senator, let's talk then about some of the specifics of what senator hagel has said in the past. he has called for direct unconditional and comprehensive talks with the government of iran, and he has opposed unilateral sanctions in the past. what do you say to those critics of senator hagel who say his record shows he's not been tough enough on iran? >> express those concerns in the hearing, that's exactly the forum that should be the proper

forum for these concerns to be expressed. that's the next step in the confirmation process. that is where the senate plays its role to advise and consent, but there's no doubt in my mind that ultimately the senate will consent to chuck hagel being secretary of defense. not only has he been shot at on the battlefield he's been shot at on the battlefield in washington, he understands what's going on and able to defend himself. >> he has also called for direct talks with hamas, which has been labeled a terrorist organization by the united states and in 2006 he was only one of only 12 senators who refused to write the eu asking them to declare hezbollah a terrorist organization. why did he do that? >> chuck hagel is his own man. he wears no man's collar and he will continue to be his own man. that is the kind of person you want as secretary of state, when you're in the room deciding about war and peace. you want somebody to give their

honest opinion. chuck hagel's opinions can come out in the hearings and the american people can decide. there's no question about the fact that the senate i think will ultimately confirm by an overwhelming majority chuck hagel as secretary of defense because nobody is going to really seriously consider violating the president's choice here in the middle of a war, in the middle of a shooting war. >> senator cleland, it's good to see you. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. on monday the president said his cia nominee, john brennan, helped him create the strategy that has devastated the leadership of al qaeda. senior correspondent john miller former deputy director of national intelligence is with us. john thanks so much for joining us. >> good morning. >> welcome back. >> thank you, sir, nice to be back. >> we were talking with senator cleland will senator hagel nominated as defense secretary, john brennan to head the cia. what does this tell us about what president obama wants in his new national security team for the second term? >> i think with both of these

nominations nominations especially brennan with the first administration, we thought of these people the first time around and didn't want to get into a messy fight this time we don't care we'll pick the people we want and going to get them through. doesn't mean the process is going to be pretty but they seem confident. they're looking from john brennan is somebody who can hit the ground running, met all the world leaders, worked in the cia, understands counterterrorism first understands's peenage understands espionage and the rest of it. >> he's pushing for the drone attacks. >> he is one of the architects of the drone process. he didn't invent it but as it went to use, he is one of the key people who built the rules around it and the processes for it, and the fact that these strikes had to be approved through a process at the white house level. >> do you believe as director of the cia he will be enthusiastic about a more paramilitary cia? >> i think what john brennan has probably come to learn in the

transition through his last tour three jobs the cia, the national counterterrorism in the white house and the national counterterrorism adviser is the shape and size of war has changed, that it's not just today about putting a big green machine of 20 or 40 or 50,000 soldiers in a place. it's about using intelligence from satellites from signals intelligence, from human sources and careful deployment of special forces like drones that can take care of a problem in a place. >> so i have two questions, one is on the drones and one is on the enhanced interrogation policy. first on the drones there's an interesting section in "the washington post" today which points out how much the drone attacks have soared under president obama and john brennan, who served under him, 390 in the past decade in pakistan and yemen, and 340 of those were under obama and brennan, while brennan was serving him.

what does that say? is brennan partly responsible for these drone attacks? what does that say about, people are very critical of these drone attacks. >> well success has many fathers and controversy has feuders, the drone attacks brings both. this process was fathered and naureur ud by mike hayden when he was the director of the cia at the very tail end of the bush administration. john brennan comes in at the beginning of the obama administration and builds white house policy and process around it. that's also one of the reasons there are few al qaeda leaders walking around today. >> we've gone from leon panetta to david petraeus briefly and now if john brennan is confirmed, john brennan. is the cia changing? >> the cia has changed drastically drastically, charlie. one of the discussions about john brennan is going to be aside from the counterterrorism paramilitary and drone world they have to get back to regular spying. >> john miller, thank you. the only suspect to be

jailed after the attack that killed the ambassador to libya is free this morning. his lawyer says he was released last night because of a lack of evidence. on month secretary of state hillary clinton told her staff she will testify to congress later this month about the attack in benghazi, libya. we look at secretary clinton back on the job, she was greeted monday by cheers of staffer, and gave her a football helmet because of her concussion and blood clot. the secretary said thanks and then went straight into a senior staff meeting. >> gripping testimony is expected at a pretrial hearing on the aurora colorado theater massacre. prosecutors are laying out their case against the suspect james holmes. the hearing is expected to last all week. barry petersen is at the courthouse in centennial colorado, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. it was a difficult day in the courtroom, difficult for the police officers who were first on the scene, difficult for

families of victims who came to hear the testimony, a difficult day with one apparent exception, james holmes. he was shackled as he was led in, showed no emotion and never looked at the families of victims who were there. among them tom teves whose son, alex, was shot and killed in the theater. he had a message for holmes. >> if i could say something to him i'd ask him to be courageous and kill himself, because he's a coward. >> reporter: officer jason oviatt spotted holmes standing by a car wearing body armor and arrested him at gunpoint when he realized hoem was not a policeman. holmes reaction said oviatt "he was very relaxed. there was no normal emotional response. he seemed very detached from it all." ambulances were slowed to arrive so officer justin made four trips taking the wounded to the hospital in a squad car, one of them caleb medly, i screamed

he said "don't die on me don't die on me." medly survived. 6-year-old veronica sullivan did not, mary ellen hansen was with us and described her lifeless body. >> it was gut-wrenching, it really was to think that a 6-year-old child's life was snuffed out in seconds. >> reporter: some families sat in nearby rooms listening to the testimony, but sam soudani whose daughter was shot and badly wounded was in the courtroom in part to see holmes in person. what do you want done with him? >> i don't care. he's just a piece of trash put him in the dumpster. >> reporter: later this week it's expected that the defense will call experts to testify about holmes mental state. some courtroom observers say this could be a prelude to an insanity defense.

charlie and norah? >> barry petersen thank you. as the testimony resumes, gabrielle giffords is launching a new effort to reduce gun violence. she was wounded two years ago today in a mass shooting that killed six people. vice president joe biden's task force is holding meetings to discuss new gun regulations. cbs news political director john dickerson is following that story. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how much pressure comes from the gun control lobby? >> well they're trying to increase their pressure. if you think of this debate one way to think of it is sort of organization that the nra has longstanding organization in washington versus emotion and what the gun control lobby is trying to do is keep people, remind people of situations like in tucson two years ago or aurora or newtown, and when you talk to people who have been working with the biden task force and who have been trying to rally new support here they say they have about 30 days after one of these massacres

before public opinion starts to go back to other kinds of issues and so they're trying to grab that window to make something different this time. >> do they believe that there is something different, though because this was about those 20 young kids rather than a normal kinds of awful tragic shootings? >> that's exactly right, charlie. they think that something has changed here there's a boiling point and the strategy is to take the awful nature of this most recent mass shooting and to try to do two things one, break the nra's membership apart, to argue basically the nra membership is different than the leadership of the nra and also to go to gun dealers like walmart and to say, look responsible gun dealers join us in trying to deal with some of these issues we're trying to get past in terms of background checks or in terms of high capacity magazine clips, and to try to break apart the coalition that's been so hard to break apart over these last years.

>> john, what do we see now mayor michael bloomberg has sent some of his staffers down to the white house to work with vice president joe biden. do you expect at the end of the day there will be more executive action than legislative action on gun control? >> that's the big question. when you talk to people who have been in these meetings they say it's a broad series of things they're discussing. the key question, what president obama going to do? he can keep something on the agenda and that's the big question all these folks are waiting to see answered. >> john dickerson, thank you. for the third time in four years alabama is number one, the crimson tide rolls over notre dame 42-14 last night to win the bcs college football championship in miami. the undefeated fighting irish were no match for a.j. mccarron who threw four touchdown passes. >> it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

every couple wishes they could have an unforgettable wedding. but maybe not like this. the bride and groom had just -- ooh, exchained their vows aboard& this hot air balloon when it crash-landed yesterday outside of san diego. we'll hear from the newlyweds coming up. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i guess not enough hot air in that relationship. >> nice try. >> there you go. all right. a new government report on cancer is getting a lot of attention. it shows cancer deaths fell in the u.s. from 2000 to 2009 by an average of 1.8% a year for men and 1.4% for women. the report says less smoking and more early detection is cutting the cancer death rate. >> one expert dr. david agus says the numbers are not good enough. he's a professor of medicine and engineering at the university of southern california. he's also the author of "the end

of illness." dr. agus good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. >> give us three things three important things that you can do to reduce the likelihood of cancer, in some order of importance. >> all right. get a load of this. 2400 years ago, a wonder drug came out. this is a pill that costs $3.50 a year. if you take it once a day you reduce the death rate of cancer by over 30%. and it's called a baby aspirin. so a baby aspirin a day will reduce the death rate of cancer by over a third. the second is eat real food. in our country we always want the easy way out so we take a pill, whether it be a vitamin or a supplement. the key is eat real food. the third is i think what is most obvious and what you're going to give me mean looks about, which is moving during the day. if you go to the gym and work out for an hour and then sit for five hours a day, it's equivalent on a health basis of smoking a pack of cigarettes.

so we need to get people to get up and move. >> so you're saying that by sitting down too much it's the equivalent of what most people consider the most serious threat to getting cancer, smoking cigarettes? >> no question about it. both for heart disease and cancer, sitting is one of the biggest risk factors we have. we've designed our workplace so your printer is next to your computer. everything is together. we got to shake that up. we've got to get up move around. every 20 minutes get up from your desk or your couch. walk around >> dr. agus that's really important information about how to reduce cancer. this new study does show cancer rates are down. but you point out it's not enough. it's just a small drop. where -- what are we learning about where these increases in cancer are, and where the decreases, the types of cancer? >> yeah, i mean listen going down a percent and a half a year is not enough. i look at two, three people a week in the eye and say i've got no more drugs to treat your cancer, and i don't want to do that. we can prevent a lot of cancer and we're not doing it. take this new vaccine called the

human papilloma virus vaccine. girls who get it will almost eliminate cervical cancer. only a third of girls in this country of the right age get all three doses. we are not implementing the preventive strategy. the hepatitis vaccine. we're not doing it and liver cancer rates are going up. so we need to be better about preventive strategies. colonoscopy. if you get your colonoscopy your chance of death of colon cancer is near zero. yet again, most people in this country aren't doing what we need to do in that regard. you know one of the supreme court jusz 'tises once said everybody in this country has a right to do many things. but the question,what is the right thing to do? >> what are we learning? >> i'm sorry? >> go ahead. i was going to ask the question which is what are we learning from cancer research today in terms of finding new ideas to fight cancer? >> well what we're starting to learn are what are the on and the off switches? through technology like sequencing the genes we can start to see what's on in an

individual cancer. so instead of treating cancer by body part, breast cancer prostate cancer, we can start to target these switches. and that's going to be the key in really changing the death rate of cancer in people who are diagnosed. the key is the way to treat cancer death is prevent it. >> thank you, dr. agus. great to see you again. the death of a lottery winner last summer has turned into a murder mystery. new testing shows the man was poisoned. as dean reynolds reports, he'd just cashed in a big money ticket. >> reporter: four six months the grave of a million dollar lottery winner, who died suddenly last summer has been undisturbed, at chicago's rose hill cemetery. but that may soon change. urooj khan the 46-year-old owner of a local dry cleaning business hit the jackpot last june opting to take out a lump sum, which, after taxes amounted to about $425,000. he received the bill check on july 19th, and then died the

next day. but the check was cashed on august 15th. when a winner dies lottery officials say it's usual that the money goes to his estate. stephen cina is the cook county medical examiner. >> the initial investigation didn't suggest anything suspicious about his death. no flags. >> reporter: cina said the cause of death was listed as hardening of the arteries. indicating a heart attack or stroke. but then a relative of the dead man placed a call to authorities. >> they suggested that we look a little deeper into this case. >> reporter: and when they looked a little deeper at their toxicology analysis they found lethal levels of the poison cyanide in khan's blood. >> even routine tax col odjick testing and even some more advanced toxicologic testing is not going to detect cyanide. you have to be looking specifically for cyanide. >> reporter: that turned the case into a homicide investigation, with the obvious question being whether someone killed khan for his money.

dr. cina says now it's highly likely that urooj khan's body will be exhumed from this cemetery for further examination. to see if the victim might have something to say from the grave. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. and we are just a few weeks away from the super bowl. which will air here on cbs. we're going to ask jim nantz of cbs sports about this weekend's playoff match-ups and the controversial decision to let robert griffin the third play with a bad knee. you're watching "cbs this morning." weight watchers online worked for us. we don't argue much. we really don't. meg usually just gets her way and i go along with it. i think it worked for matt because i did it for him. when i'm the one cooking i'm the one calculating the points. i can microwave things. you get to eat real food. we still get to go out. we're just so much smarter about it.

tickets to president obama's inauguration have sold out. yeah. at least that's what the president is telling joe biden. [ laughter ] >> we mentioned earlier about alabama beat notre dame last night to win its third college football title in four years.

and of course the nfl playoffs are just heating up. with us, jim nantz of cbs sports who will call super bowl xlvii in a couple of weeks. good morning. >> nice to see you both. >> first, the game last night. what did you think of alabama last night? played in the nfl -- >> they always do send a lot of guys to the nfl. it's really -- from the very get-go this was such a one-sided affair. i was disappointed as a fan. alabama is on such a roll. and this is the definition of a dynasty now. three out of four years, and nick saban's on top of the world. his name's going up with the legendary names in college history. >> bryant -- >> absolutely. >> so let's talk about -- we've got a big game this sunday. texas versus the patriots. you're calling the game, right? >> on sunday this is a rematch from a month ago. that was -- actually now that i think about it the score between new england and houston at the same time was the same as last night's alabama/notre dame game. so houston's got to obviously approach this in a different

manner. they've got to figure out a way to stop tom brady and the patriots. everybody says that going into a game against new england. but houston's got a good defense. the last time they met, they never figured out a way to solve the riddle. they could not stop them. they were down 28-0 in the blink upon an eye. >> what do you think about the controversy over rg3 and whether he should have a been in the game and, b, stayed in the game when it looked like he was having problems should have been taken out? >> this is great in the world of sports. the finger pointing part is taking place. most people want to point the finger at mike shanahan. listen, until i hear otherwise from rg3, shanahan said one thing and rg3 has welcomebacked it up. he went to the coach and said there's a difference between being injured and being hurt, i can play. some say it's up to the coach to figure out when this player though, is a detriment to the team or perhaps you're risking the long-term future of your

franchise player. nonetheless, he's going for more tests today with dr. andrews. at let's hope this is not a serious reconstructed knee surgery coming up now. he had a major knee operation in '09 and bounced back from that won a heisman. this a fabulous year. he's revived the redskins. but it's -- the next couple of days, i'm anxious to hear how badly he's hurt. >> and rg3 is going to florida to see dr. andrews. they're not sure whether it's a new injury or the mri is showing old injuries from the '09 injury. >> it's looking like -- early report are some of the mri imaging coming back shows and suggests that there were some slight tears of the acl and mcl. perhaps it was, in fact, left over from the old injury of '09. >> what's the big story of this year's nfl season? is it the young quarterbacks who have come in and done so well or the running backs, is it what? >> you know, there's a lot obviously, when you take the whole breadth of the nfl. i think, you know, the overall biggest story has been the rookie quarterbacks who excel

and they found that it works. the formula correctly identified 80% of obese children as at the highest risk. it uses several pieces of information including the child's birth weight, the parents' body fat measurements, what job the mother has, and whether she smoked while pregnant. since obese children are likely to become obese adults knowing this information early could encourage at-risk families to focus on fitness before excess weight gain begins. now the formula has been made available to the public in the form of a calculator. we've provided a link to it on the cbs news web site. childhood obesity is a leading cause of early type two diabetes and heart disease. rates in the u.s. have tripled over the past 30 years. researchers hope this calculator will remind us all that the numbers add up. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> cbs healthwatch sponsored by --

consolidations mergers. we may see one happen later this week when american airlines has a board meeting tomorrow. we'll find out if the merger with u.s. air is going to happen. the bottom line is you have more passengers competing for fewer seats. that means the airlines can basically pick and choose the routes they own and charge essentially whatever they want. there's not much cost of competition. to -- not much competition. to give an example, when i finish the show i'm taking the washington shuttle. takes 38 minutes from laguardia to washington reagan. the coach air fare is $938. they know the people who are on that plane need to be on that plane. >> need to be there. >> they didn't just decide to go today. >> what time will it arrive after it departs? >> that's another -- they charge and make you pay to land the plane. >> one quick question. is it likely that the board will approve the u.s. air merger? >> they will announce that there's a merger offer on the table. first the airline has to come out of bankruptcy. that's the first thing we'll see tomorrow. the other thing that's going to happen this year fees are going to go up. what a surprise. in 2011 the airlines generated

over $22 billion in fees. last year it was $36 billion. it's going to go even higher. that's really what's keeping the airlines flying. not the air fares, it's the fees. >> how about visa restrictions? >> the good news for a lot of foreign travelers for the first time the american government has lessened the waiting time. last year if you were foreign, chinese, trying to get to the united states, foreign brazilian, indian was 160 days. it's down to two. we'll have a flood of people desperately trying to get to the united states and now they can. what that means is that's another reason why the fares go up. the market's going to be set not by us but by foreign travelers. last year was the first year that more than one billion people criss-crossed the foreign country, travelers. >> help us understand why it's so hard to use frequent flier miles. i feel you have to stand on one leg and do the hokie pokie before you turn them in. >> you have to have a snowmobile. >> i know. >> the point is this -- if you have fewer airlines more people

competing for fewer seats, all the planes are full with revenue-paying passengers, there's no incentive whatsoever for the airlines to release a "free" ticket if they're filling the plane. they can't stop the programs because they make more money for the airlines than the airlines make operating the airlines. it's amazing. >> wow. >> what they're doing is trying to transform these programs to something we never expected. from a frequent flier ticket redemption program to a frequent flier experience redemption program. so how about a box of chocolate? how about a magazine subscription, a toaster. we're going back to the days of s&h green stamps. anything other than a ticket. if you have miles don't save them. look out 330 days and go out and get a ticket anywhere. they're going to become less and less valuable. i don't trust the airlines as airlines, why would i trust them as banks? don't horde the money. and banks will be flooding markets -- and hotels will be flooding markets with rooms. that means supply and demand. if you can get a great room get

it now. people will come in and fill the rooms. it's not us anymore. it's the chinese, russians indians, and brazilians. >> the use of electronic devices below 10,000 feet. i have mixed feelings. i was next to a guy on his cell phone. i wanted to gouge my eyes out the other day. >> your eyes or his? >> his too. the conversation was so ridiculous. and you're sort of trapped listening to it. >> you're not going to get support from me i think people should be banned from using cells phones on planes for all sorts of reasons. for the first time the faa will relax the rules -- >> which means? >> people will probably be allowed to use their electronic devices, not cell phones tablets, their ipads, whatever on the ground and before they get to 10,000 feet. >> that's good. >> when you think about this american airlines now allows pilots to use their ipads in the cockpit. that tells you everything you inside to know. >> why do you want cell phones banned? >> i don't want to listen to your conversation. >> you're trapped. >> i don't do it that much. but if you talk softly -- >> nobody talks softly.

>> nobody can talk softly in a plane. you're screeching over the air noise. guess where i am -- the first phone call they make. not only that, it -- you can't get a signal anyway who are you kidding? >> i don't mean in the air. i mean before you take off. >> if you're on the ground and you haven't pushed back from the gate, i don't care if anybody talks on the phone. once you push back ban it. you know, don't be alec baldwin. >> peter greenberg thank you. >> thank you very much. 45 years ago, stacked records released a song we all know very well.

what's up? >> my father's in town. he came to see me last night alone. even his own people didn't know he was here. i know is sounds bad and this is the last thing you wanted to deal with, but i -- i did not want to hide anything from you. >> why is he here? >> to spend time with me.

or so he says. >> that is the scene from tonight's episode of "ncis." the cbs drama about criminal investigators working for the navy and the marines. cote de pablo has been a regular for the past eight seasons. she's with us along with senior correspondent john miller a former fbi deputy director who guess what, has worked with the real ncis. john miller. this is what i got -- two bad [ bleep ] sitting at the table. that's what i think is so much fun about your show. she is a bad [ bleep ] but also manages to show vulnerability and emotion from time to time. >> yes. she does. >> good. >> i think the writers and the people like to see that. and i've always said that i -- i never thought vulnerability is a bad thing. i think vulnerability is a strength. >> uh-huh. >> i think if people were able to be more comfortable with their vulnerability, i think we'd be a more honest people. >> you have leon carroll there, a retired ncis agent, on set looking at the scripts. but when you have a question of

what would an agent do here how would you take this or clear this room, is that useful? >> of course. you know we are actors. and as actors we are very curious people by nature. and we may have an idea of how to do things but the reality is that we are not trained, you know we have to ask, and we rely on hurt cure-- rely on our curiosity to do things the right way. thank god we have somebody like leon carroll every day that's able to clarify and clear certain things in order for us to really do our jobs well. >> your character is considered the most dangerous member of the team. what was fascinating to me is that you had never held a gun before you took this role. >> yes. i talked about that -- >> were you nervous? >> was i nervous? that's an understatement. the first day i ever went to the shooting range, i -- i was there with leon and a couple of men, very, very nice men. and they gave me the gun. you know, they said, well, you're going to hold the gun,

and blah blah blah. i thought, oh god -- you know be very strong because you don't want to show them that you're weak. >> yeah. yeah. >> so i held the gun and i remember holding the gun and just trembling. i was just -- and i just kept on saying just -- just get it together. you know finally i got my hand on the gun and then finally i started shooting. and it wasn't until i heard the first shot that i finally went okay. i -- that's done. that's done. >> how do you think it compares, john, to the real -- i would imagine the real ncis agent isn't trembleingtrembling. how does it compare? >> the show measures up well to ncis on a number of levels. first of all, ncis agents with all around the world. there are 2,500 ncis agents in 25 countries 166 locations. so do the math they're spread very thin. they have to be independent. they work in small keeps. every-- small team. everywhere they show the badge that says ncis people if who?

when they say ncis, it's like fbi, instant recognition. they don't have their own medical examiner like ducky on the show. there's no morgue in the basement. but the offices look like the washington field offices, and the cases they choose in the story lines are largely from ncis cases. it's close enough for tv and pretty real. >> now i always think that the way that they analyze things i'm fascinating with the fibers. there's always getting information from something as simple as a fbier er-- a fiber on the show. >> they love that. the person that does that well obviously is polly perez -- her character, abby. and everyone has their own strengths. >> you play an israeli agent on the show. >> i do. i do. >> and you got into character doing that how? >> well, it's funny because i'm -- >> what was the story she was telling you? >> she had to study with the ncis agents about how to look and act like an agent.

how do you go from being chilean born and raised in miami to israeli and -- and hebrew? >> it's an ongoing thing because obviously when i read for the audition, the character was european. but it was kind of generic. they didn't quite specify where she was from. so i came in and i did a czechoslovakian accent. don't ask me to do it. >> i won't. >> i don't know what it is today. but so i did sort of a generic european accent. and then within 48 hours of actually getting the part they changed the part to an israeli woman. and then within hours, i had to shoot. then they gave me a huge monologue that i had to learn in hebrew. that's when i went -- that was hard. >> should we dare ask you to talk in hebrew? >> you should not. >> okay. >> because i learned that phonetically. and it's not like spanish that rolls off my tongue. >> you're very popular in israel. so mazel tov. >> thank you. thank you. >> tonight's a really good episode. you say you make no aapologies

for the emotion she shows tonight. we'll be watching. >> thank you. >> thank you. john miller, always good to see you always. you can see a new episode tonight at 8:00 7:00 central on good old cbs. we'll be right back.
